Shamballah Laboratory
and the Modern Mystery School
All Shamballah Laboratory practitioners are Initiates in the Modern Mystery School lineage and proudly train with the school. Through the power of activation, initiation and the wisdom of the lineage of King Salomon, the Modern Mystery School provides the tools, teachings, healings, services, classes and programs that enable the initiate to transform themselves, coming into a state of truly knowing themselves. To “Know Thyself” is the motto of the mystery school. The Modern Mystery School facilitates this process by creating a sacred and safe space, through which the exploration of metaphysics, spiritual practice and service, the initiate embarks on a journey of deep self discovery, delving into the layers of themselves, so that you may come into awareness of their divine nature and purpose here on earth.
you may be wondering…
WHAT IS A MYSTERY SCHOOL?
By definition, a Mystery School is a group of initiates who have dedicated themselves to preserving, protecting and perpetuating the mystery teachings.
Throughout the ages the Mystery Schools have hidden in plain sight. They have built magnificent temples all over the world and provided services both to the public and behind closed door for only ‘those who have eyes to see,’ and ‘those who have ears to hear.’
The initiates are those who are known as the Guardians, the Protectors, the Light bearers, the Teachers, the Healers, the Record Keepers, the Magicians, the Watchers, among many other names.
HOW MANY MYSTERY SCHOOLS ARE THERE?
There are 7 Ancient Mystery Schools on the planet. These 7 are located in North America, England, Romania, Australia, Japan, Tibet and Africa. Six of which are closed to the public. The Modern Mystery School is the only school open to the public. It is the only school to publicly advertise and promote the various initiations into The Great Brotherhood and Sisterhood of Light.
The Modern Mystery School currently has centres located throughout Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Brazil, Tokyo, South Africa, the Caribbean, the Philippines and is constantly growing throughout the world.
WHY ARE MYSTERY SCHOOLS A MYSTERY?
Until very recently, mystery school teachings were kept under lock and key in their respective institutions. These teachings are the keys to living an enlightened and empowered life.
There was a time when all of humanity used to live, think and act with a common understanding that was in alignment with the greater good of all. That time has long since passed, and these keys of enlightenment became a threat to forces that desired to control humanity. These forces, individuals, governments and others tried to eliminate this knowledge from earth, sometimes in overt ways. The wars of the ancients and of modern day were not always about what the history books may tell us. The mystery school teachings were forced to go underground in order to protect and preserve the sacred teachings.
Since then, one would have to be invited in to the school to study, after careful observation, only once that individual had truly proven themselves ready and dedicated. Many mystery schools to this day still operate in this way. However, the Modern Mystery School is considered an “open” mystery school.
There are massive shifts of energy occurring on the planet today, and humanity is once again waking up to its true divine nature. It is time once again to live in an enlightened society. The Modern Mystery School believes in giving everyone the right to choose to pursue the path of initiation into the Light, by creating the opportunity and opening its doors to all who seek it.
We are ready to take the next step forward in our evolution, that we embrace our divinity here in the physical.
